Your car's spring to results ratio will be different, but still similar.

EDIT -- After getting your ride height perfect you should do final adjustments with your car on scales. Getting your corner weights just right makes a tremendous difference in the way the car drives.

Exactly,what should be done, have the car scaled.It will never be right if you don't.Ask me how I know?

This is what we used. DCDoug and I had a thread just recently about renting corner weight scales. But almost every local Cobra Club has somebody that actually owns a set (and you only need them for the afternoon). Fill your tank up about half-way, put something in the driver's seat that weighs what you do, then adjust to try and get a 50/50 cross-weight. Don't forget to loosen your sway bars first -- the pre-load will skew your numbers.
